A neonatal doctor who helped catch Britain’s most prolific child killer Lucy Letby has spoken of his frustrations of the ‘cover-up’ culture that can still exist within the NHS.
Has someone you loved had poor treatment from the NHS? Contact LBC at [email protected] Dr Ravi Jayaram, a consultant who was clinical lead for neonates and paediatrics at the hospital where Letby murdered seven babies and attempted to murder six more, told LBC this morning of the ‘depressing’ nature of whistleblowing problems in the NHS.Dr Jayaram is among a number of medics who raised concerns about Lucy Letby with senior staff at the Countess of Chester hospital.
“There is a culture at senior NHS management level where a lot of people hold in contempt the views of the people at the front line and they don’t listen.“The culture is ‘that can’t get out - you be quiet’.“Eventually what happens is the person raising concerns becomes the problem themselves,” he said.His comments come after warnings from the NHS ombudsman that hospitals are still burying evidence about poor care in a “cover-up culture.
